Oh, me too. I was figring it would fly off course the moment it launched.

The scary thing is that they had more success than the 1/2 scale X-Wing people, despite using a car as the base for their orbiter.

Even crazier is how much more likely to work it makes some of the ideas from the Fenspace shared universe stories seem. After all, the folks on those stories have access to actual working Handwavium (or Unobtainium if you prefer that name) for the handy repeal of the laws of physics.
